| Soundlab A3s and thoughts. Hi All, Dr West replied to my email personally Welcoming me to the Soundlab family and sending me the user manual. The Manual states that the cracking noise cannot damage the panel. In fact the bias procedure asks you to turn the adjuster all the ... | |
| Soundlab A3s and thoughts. My speakers are original A3s with the old transformers. So as inefficient as they can be..... still sounded great even with my limited amp........ Panels were a little crackly but I tuned this out with the bias adjuster. I’m not quite sure what th... | |
| Soundlab A3s and thoughts. Wow, go straight to the source.... i hadn’t even considered that as an option. when i’ve got them, ( i pick them up tomorrow ) and i can quote the serial numbers , I’ll do that. Thanks for the advice. | |
| Soundlab A3s and thoughts. I’ve got a line magnetic 218ia here in another system (845 output tubes) I’ll try that at very low volumes. I’m a bit of an SET guy. So these are a departure. The 518 is only about 30 Watts so I’m not expecting it to go well. Failing that there is... | |
| Line Mangnetic CD player 515. Tube rolling . hia guys, I rolled in some nos GE 6L6 and some Nos philips sq miniwatt 12ax7. i tried some nos philips rectifiers 60s age. but preferred the original ( surprisingly). I also liked the original 845s over the psvane we845s . The GE6L6 gave me a nic... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo If you fancy a bit of Tubey lovelyness try the line magnetic LM-515cd. One of the most satisfying CD players I’ve listened too and a great dac as well. Love mine. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Hddg, sorry I've been away a long time ( not for any criminal reason :-). ).my personal, overall findings were that the Wests just liked being driven by beefy amps. The plinius sa250 with Einstein pre amp worked the best for me. I didn't try any s... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Thanks Rich, I'm still unsure as to my systems evolution yet. I am intrigued by Marks suggestion of the class d red dragon s500, as I've never heard any digital amps I liked. And he's talking about them in the same breath as the 300b Frankensteins... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. I just swapped a couple of messages with Louis (the designer). He said that the LM518ia was a great match with the SAMs. Which is nice. | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi all, I think stfoth has things about right. What he suggests rings true for the SAMs as well. They are very nimble speakers. I suppose they are suited to less complex music in the way described above. Solo instruments sound fantastic, tone , le... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi smrex. I think there are many different single driver designs, which will include some huge folded horn design that will provide full range. However these were fully intended to be a compromise for a smallish lounge system. However it’s fair to... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi guys, I can see both your points of view. 250 does seem over the top, but if they work well at initial few watts and sound good then $1500 is a bargain and they would run economically and cool all day. That said if I were going for one of Nelso... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. That's a good point. The S500 would be very maintenance free for all day use. I see they have an ex dem one for 1500 on there website. I've always been very sceptical of digital amplifiers. I've only ever heard some driving b&w 802s. Not my id... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi Mark. I always fancied the Frankensteins but I never got the chance to hear them here. I was looking for some 300bs to go with my tannoy westminsters a few years back. I never managed to get any 300bs to work well with the Tannoys. The more cur... | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Hi Rich, thanks for the reply....... I haven't spoke to Louis yet. The speakers are still shipping to me at the moment from the Omega dealer here. I listened to them in the store with the small Leben integrated. They sounded good like that. I supp... |
